I am really happy with how this turned out and while its not perfect its not bad either. The pattern is from Six Penny Memories and is called The Crazy Cushion. It is a Victorian design used to use up scraps. It is stitched onto calico to stabilise the different types of fabric, which wasn't strictly needed this time as the scraps were all polycotton from my scrap stash. I would definitely do future projects onto calico as it has a lovely feel to it. Obviously a quilt wouldn't need it but wall hangings and cushions could well benefit from it. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I really hope you like it</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love and Huggles</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sass</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-12171643866263244802015-09-05T17:43:00.001+01:002015-09-05T17:43:11.605+01:00I Know You've Seen These Before<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VdwH2HBDcAM/VesXvNEU2OI/AAAAAAAAA2g/pyeTyLAeLhA/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VdwH2HBDcAM/VesXvNEU2OI/AAAAAAAAA2g/pyeTyLAeLhA/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;I love this stamp by Sheena Douglass, I thought I'd something a bit different with it today though. All the card used was Sheena's stamping card so white to start with. The main card was misted and clouded with Tim Holtz's Distress ink and spritz with water and dabbed. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with clear powder and then coloured with the distress ink pad. The back ground for the wolf was great fun to do. I painted the backing card with Pebeo DYNA in blue/black and let dry. In the drying time I then had a piece of acetate which I spritzed with Cosmic Shimmers, I let it dry until it was tacky and had an old paint brush and swirled the colours around a bit before letting them dry completely. While that was drying I stamped and cut out the wolf image in Tuxedo Black on white card. I cut the two backgrounds to the same size and secured them together with brads. I put a piece of grey sparkly paper through an embossing folder and trimmed it. I've then just layered it up. The back ground is so shimmery and appears to swirl around as the light catches it from different angles.</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tP_SI8N7t0I/VesX06E5UxI/AAAAAAAAA2o/-P7JrRAbqGY/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tP_SI8N7t0I/VesX06E5UxI/AAAAAAAAA2o/-P7JrRAbqGY/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So having done that and having been pleased with the effect I had this card to make up. I made the topper the other day, which I showed earlier on this blog. I had a piece of white card stock to make the base and just edged it with a mauvey pink chalk dew drop ink pad. I had another piece of Sheena's stamping card and splashed some water around on the card with a large paintbrush. I then spritzed it with Cosmic Shimmer Mist in a gorgeous purple, and because I was too impatient I dried it with my hot air gun. Photo's don't really do these backgrounds justice, they are sooooooooooooo sparkly and gorgeous.</div><div align="center">﻿</div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-48862462126299009272015-09-02T17:32:00.000+01:002015-08-30T17:33:17.977+01:00Lets Stamp Again<div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">I am still exploring the possibilities of what the TODO can do. Today I just wanted to do something simple and effective. I love stamping (did I mention that?) and I love Distress Ink Pads too. I love colouring with Distress Inks, either drawing the colour out with a damp brush or picking up colour from my craft mat and using like paint. This image uses both those techniques and worked rather well on Kraft card, although I am showing you the image rather than the finished card as it does take quite a while to dry.</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4_tviR0zFM/VeMvzvCFS-I/AAAAAAAAA2E/m2mCs6UVRM0/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4_tviR0zFM/VeMvzvCFS-I/AAAAAAAAA2E/m2mCs6UVRM0/s320/004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="center">﻿</div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-44845093221233599942015-09-01T17:25:00.000+01:002015-09-01T17:25:00.074+01:00Old Friends<div align="center">New friends are lovely and always welcome but the old friends are comfort and relaxation</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5M1rpve7sP0/VeMs8VjldWI/AAAAAAAAA14/BZiK66V1HYI/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5M1rpve7sP0/VeMs8VjldWI/AAAAAAAAA14/BZiK66V1HYI/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">This lovely Sheena Douglass Paint Fusion Pansy for example.

Am I excited? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I have to say that any mistakes you may notice are entirely driver error (too impatient to tape things down). The TODO cut all the squares, embossed and stamped the card. I used Distress Ink pads&nbsp;to&nbsp;stamp the image, I then drew out the colour with a damp paintbrush. I struggled a little bit in trying to remember how to colour with cut and dry foam but it soon came back to me.

I've played about with it a little bit now. I was going to devote a whole day to playing with it today, but The Goffer has been in and out like a fiddlers elbow today and as it's a weighty beast I need him to move it for me. So I have wasted a day.</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">However, I had a quick play sat on the bed and did some embossing, die cutting and a cheeky bit of stamping with it. I love it! Because of my shakes and hand weakness I find these things difficult to do. It's fair to say that it has that 'new' stiffness about it but I still managed the functions with ease and adjusting the roller was an absolute doddle. I shall be ordering some foils soon to try out the hot foiling function, but so far I've found it to be a very simple piece of kit. With nice crisp embossing and die cutting. By lifting out the plate (easypeasy) the BIG Sissix dies go through and cut out my patchwork dies a dream. It was a very expensive piece of kit but the amount of things that I can do with it is incredible. I can see many opportunities for using TODO in my mixed media crafting, such as cutting out dies and using the negatives for texture paste, applique, cutting chipboard (I struggled with my Big Shot), using empty drinks cans to make shapes to paint and add to canvas. I am really excited with the possibilities it offers along with the opportunity to use my big wood mounted rubber stamps that my hands just can't cope with.</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">I've been trying to find a negative angle to tell you about, but to be perfectly honest with you I haven't yet come across one yet. I suppose the biggest negative for many would be its size as its a bit of a beast.﻿</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-31939192218039484682015-08-27T18:58:00.000+01:002015-08-27T18:58:00.105+01:00Paint Fusioned Heart Box<div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qQh24bkOtQA/VdyrqLF2qtI/AAAAAAAAA00/RHUcufSnvWo/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qQh24bkOtQA/VdyrqLF2qtI/AAAAAAAAA00/RHUcufSnvWo/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-unNZZnLPJNw/VdyrxA9sJ3I/AAAAAAAAA08/DcYQ6WpkNkI/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-unNZZnLPJNw/VdyrxA9sJ3I/AAAAAAAAA08/DcYQ6WpkNkI/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I painted this little box with Pebeo DYNA paint in blue/green, but didn't really have any idea what I wanted to do with it. Sheena Douglass has just brought out some new paint fusion stamps which are really beautiful and perfect for home décor projects. They are so easy to use and I have to confess to doing a little bit of 'freestyling' with the painting. This is my first major paint job with paint fusion since I began to get tremors in my hands.

This was a trial to see if I could still do the little roses. While they are the greatest I was very pleased with them and they definitely improved as I went along. Folk Art, One Stroke Painting and Sheena Douglass' Paint Fusion techniques are going to become quite a regular feature on this blog in the weeks and months to come.</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">There is also great excitement at Sassie Acres this week. Over the months as my physical health has deteriorated I have had to give up a lot of my favourite techniques which if I'm honest with you has really upset me a great deal. I gave up stamping because my hands can't manage the stamps to get a crisp image, I've struggled with my faithful Big Shot die cutter/embosser as my hands have become so weak. But chatting with Pals last week one happened to mention the TODO machine. On Sunday there was a demonstration of the machine which held me riveted - it really did look like the answer to my prayers. So Mr Sass has ordered me one. If it doesn't do what I want it to do it can go back, having only lost the postage. If on the other hand my hands fall in love with it, this blog is going to get a whole lot more interesting for you all. Rest assured this machine will be put through it's paces and I will be dishing the dirt on it if it fails to meet my expectations.</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">That's about it for now my friends</div><div align="center">Love and Huggles</div><div align="center">Sasster</div><div align="center">xx</div><div align="center">﻿</div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-56362973831235154852015-08-25T14:50:00.000+01:002015-08-25T14:50:00.761+01:00Same But Different<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r0wjdv1WUbQ/VdsgNUjz05I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/uzUbiYb03YQ/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r0wjdv1WUbQ/VdsgNUjz05I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/uzUbiYb03YQ/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div align="center">Another Marion Leys pattern, a little hat and jacket for my cousins great granddaughter.

It was an idea to try out the new Pebeo black gesso that I got yesterday. I have to say that Pebeo gesso is probably the best I've ever used. The coverage is brilliant, suffice to say that I won't be buying any other from now on. So what I did was had an oval trinket box from my stash and painted it black gesso. Because the coverage is so good I then just used a matt sealer on it. I made a skull from red cloud clay which when it was dry I painted with Pebeo Fantsy Moon in carmine. I then used Antique Gold Prismi to fill the eye sockets. I then ran amok (as I do) with Pebeo Gold gilding wax to embellish the red roses from my stash. I then decorated with pearl beads, feathers and a little black satin bow with a pearl on it.</div><div align="justify">&nbsp;</div><div align="justify">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UJRazIxxFsk/Vb-AxVPp0WI/AAAAAAAAAzk/vXoVyTaqOeQ/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UJRazIxxFsk/Vb-AxVPp0WI/AAAAAAAAAzk/vXoVyTaqOeQ/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gDUCJyOlnDM/Vb-A3noWZ3I/AAAAAAAAAzs/-OTDNX0pt7M/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gDUCJyOlnDM/Vb-A3noWZ3I/AAAAAAAAAzs/-OTDNX0pt7M/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-20796854780518207622015-08-03T17:07:00.000+01:002015-08-03T17:07:00.155+01:00Peacock GrungeI am thrilled with this, but please don't ask me what I've used because I got so stuck into playing I completely forgot to keep a list.

These little beauties tick all my boxes. They are ridiculously expensive to make but are a classic 'you get what you pay for'. They are made in two halves and then fit together. They catch the merest hint of light and bounce it around superbly. I haven't hung them up yet ( to be honest I'm running out of hanging space) and are sat on my bedroom window. They are amazing at night (Yes, really) when they catch just a flicker of a car headlight.

This pendant is made with Pebeo Fantasy Paint. I really can sit and watch paint dry with this, the paint moves and shifts and does all sorts of things you really never know how it is going to turn out. Unfortunately I had a bit of a tidy up around the desk and through the scrap paper that I had written down the colours I'd used away. I will be much more careful in future.﻿</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Sasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07338863162076065237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411225933283147620.post-3326578763804668552015-07-22T15:08:00.002+01:002015-07-22T15:08:42.359+01:00Hello AgainThought it was time I dusted off my blog and got going again.<br /><br />Lots of things have changed since my last posting. My workroom has been packed into boxes and stayed that way for quite some time. But now I have moved into my new work area in the garden and the boxes unpacked. I have had to stop doing quite a few things that I enjoy but on the plus side I have found some new challenges.<br /><br />The new work Area has been christened The Witches Den and I am extremely pleased with how its doing. Its not quite there yet as my end of things, other things get in the way.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0hlyp7S76mk/Va-iNkfvIhI/AAAAAAAAAtk/-KRqUSAozjI/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0hlyp7S76mk/Va-iNkfvIhI/AAAAAAAAAtk/-KRqUSAozjI/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cV7p5mmmz58/Va-iXCYEcRI/AAAAAAAAAts/XPXBcWTmdQI/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cV7p5mmmz58/Va-iXCYEcRI/AAAAAAAAAts/XPXBcWTmdQI/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My lovely big store room to hide away my crafty stash (above)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KLfF9Mdm0EM/Va-ie5VQlwI/AAAAAAAAAt0/cUTg4SPSxV0/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KLfF9Mdm0EM/Va-ie5VQlwI/AAAAAAAAAt0/cUTg4SPSxV0/s320/005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K8WmsNhJ38U/Va-iqmkZFxI/AAAAAAAAAt8/oNsWWc9A3qI/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K8WmsNhJ38U/Va-iqmkZFxI/AAAAAAAAAt8/oNsWWc9A3qI/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FYgfpibihBo/Va-iyh7dOBI/AAAAAAAAAuE/Uno1v0XN5cs/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FYgfpibihBo/Va-iyh7dOBI/AAAAAAAAAuE/Uno1v0XN5cs/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Over the coming weeks you will see much more of the new workroom.
